Basic Doctrines
God—The Trinity
1) Who is God?
A) God is a spirit.
As physical, material beings, it is difficult for us to comprehend the idea of a non-material being.
God doesn’t have a physical body like we do
This means that God is invisible.
Paul called Him “the invisible God”
This means that God is invisible.
Paul called Him “the invisible God” (), and “the King eternal, immortal, invisible” ().
John tells us that “no man has seen God at any time” ().

(1) Because God is a spirit, you can know Him apart from your physical senses.
You do not have to see Him or feel Him to know Him.
Communion with God does not depend on physical, material things because it takes place internally in the spiritual part of your being.
That was the point of Jesus’ comment to the woman at the well—since God is spirit you must worship Him in spirit
B) God is personal.
God is not an impersonal force that acts without purpose or reason.
The essence of personality is self-consciousness and self-determination, and God has both.
He is conscious of His own being—He told Moses that His name was, “I AM WHO I AM”
).
Only a person who is aware of Himself could make that statement.
He also has the freedom to choose His own course of action according to what He considers best.
He demonstrated it when He subsequently told Moses to return to Egypt, gather the elders together, and inform them that the nation was about to be delivered from Egyptian bondage ().
An impersonal force does not speak and give logical directions like that.

An impersonal force does not speak and give logical directions like that.
(1) Because God is personal, He has the basic characteristics of personality— intellect, emotions, and will.
He thinks, He feels, and He acts
; ), and because of this you can know Him personally and communicate with Him.
If God were an inanimate object or an impersonal force there would be no hope of a personal relationship with Him.

C) God is infinite.
God had no beginning and will have no end—He has always existed and will always exist

When speaking of God’s infinity, we generally use terms like omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence:

When speaking of God’s infinity, we generally use terms like omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence:
(1) Omniscience means that God is all-knowing—He has unlimited knowledge.
His infinite knowledge is what qualifies Him to be sovereign ruler and judge over all things.
Not only does God know everything that has and will happen, He also knows all things that could have happened.
Nothing takes God by surprise, and no one can hide their sin from Him.
There are many verses in the Bible where God reveals this aspect of His nature.
One such verse is
: “...God is greater than our heart, and knows all things” (NASB).
“...God is greater than our heart, and knows all things” (NASB).
(2) Omnipotence means that God is all-powerful—He has unlimited power.
This is important because it establishes God’s ability to carry out His sovereign will.
Because God is omnipotent and has infinite power, nothing can stop His decreed will from happening.
There are many verses in the Bible where God reveals this aspect of His nature.
One such verse is
: “But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases” (NASB).
Also, when answering His disciples’ question, “Then who can be saved?”
Jesus answered them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (, NASB).
